Correction: You CAN put the V-Fin on the Core Gundam. You take off the forehead Jewel and the V-Fin and then you can plug it in there. This also applies to the Alus Earth3's crown too.

[@tetsujin_144]

14:13 "It looks very pleasing" as the model rotates around and the hollow feet come into view...

Kind of hoping Alus makes armor sets based on more protag gundams. Curious what the Wing or Barbatos would look like with a one-eye redesign.

[@seanchoy236]

when you can emit beams from the palm of your hand, I guess there wouldn't be use for a beam saber handle?

You could probably spin the beam saber for a shield similar to how Turn-A does it but still BEAM FINGAH sounds so much cooler

I'd love to see Alus pull off more "super Gundam" knockoffs. 00 Quanta, God Gundam, Age-FX etc. Maybe Turn-A or Turn-X. Hell, one-eye variant armors (Sinanju, Sazabi, Qubeley etc.) would be pretty sick.

[@leviosdraekion6993]

The last thing they need to give Alus is the ability to quantize.

Hey mecha, can you make a video showing how to use Buyee? I want P Bandai kits but I dont really understand how to use the site

[@Heavy_Metal_Gunpla]

As cool as the BD R:R kits are and really, REALLY make me wanna break my tradition of MG only... I'm not impressed with Bandai when it comes to them breaking up the armor sets. Not that they don't come with a Core Gundam or Core Alus, but that they breakup the armor & weapons. Oh, you want the Fake Nu Gundam? Gonna have to buy the armor separately from the weapons. Saturnix? Separately! Veetwo or Marsfour Weapons? Separately! That is the biggest breaker as to why I haven't started buying the BD R:R kits, but I REALLY like them, particularly the Jupitive, Uraven & Fake Nu.

[@setiadjihw]

That will cost same as MG, if u want HG evil looking kit, i think grab HG varguil is good.

[@Heavy_Metal_Gunpla]

@@setiadjihw Not really. To bundle the weapons & armor together as 1 kit (or add-on) shouldn't cost anymore than $25, given the prices of the separate kits. Their literally just putting all the runners & manuels in 1 box instead of 2. That's all I'm getting at.

[@felps_4500]

It would be cool if Bandai made a model kit of the Mass Produced Nu-Gundam from SRW @3 I really liked that MS especially because of it's color and also the fact that mass produced MS would have some changes so non-Newtype people could use it If I remember correctly, the Funnels aren't like the OG Nu, they're like the ""Yo-yo"" things that the Xi gundam have which is attached to a wire (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

[@wanderingaceminecraftandmo8034]

You mean the INCOM Units? The Mass Production v has the option for funnels or INCOMS, actually.

[@Shasen589]

Those purple shades make it look like a RoboCop Gundam.

[@MasterNeptor]

With this section about "its theoretically possible to dock them into the core gundam" i have new theory about plot. Probably something will happen on Eldora and Alus with Hiroto will be forced to work together to protect Eldora plus maybe Alus will get more character and by this i mean he will be more like a Hirotos rival. The whole series will end with great duel of both Core Gundams in the contest of friendly rivalry. Random theory, we will see how it goes

[@challacustica9049]

[@Ph33rTheDens]

From having watched the review carefully, I'd say you'd have to do some heavy modification and it still wouldn't be symmetrical. It seems that there are two attachment points on the funnel wing but both are on the same side (I guess one just makes it sit closer to the midline of the kit and one sticks out a bit further to the side).

[@Ceonbe]

[@xxnike0629xx]

Given that the most up to date version of the HG RX-93 ν Gundam came out in 2008, I wonder if Bandai plans to release a new HG version. The hollow weapon included is likely a placeholder. Bandai most likely expects people to use the one included with the HG AGP-X1/E3 Alus Earthree Gundam .
